Find the locus of the point of intersect...

Find the locus of the point of intersection of lines `xcosalpha+ysinalpha=a` and `xsinalpha-ycosalpha=b(alpha` is a variable).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Consider the equation
`xcosα+ysinα=a`
`xsinα−ycosα=b`
Let `P(h,k)` be the point satisfying the equation then the above equation becomes
`hcosα+ksinα=a ....(1)`
`hsinα−kcosα=b ....(2)`
squaring and adding eq.(1) and (2),
`h^2cos^ 2α+k ^2sin ^2 ...
